I love to see what the bands are using to get the sounds they want for the studio, the tour, whatever. I guess it feeds into my GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) that I suffer from.

Stone Sour has really good tone on their albums and on the road, and if you want to know how they get them, this is the video for you...and me, for sure. Enjoy!
